Showerbaths are a great practical way of optimizing the space so that you have the comfort of both bathing and showering. Walk-in showers are also very popular in the modern bathroom and if buying a shower enclosure for the modern bathroom choose one with a chrome structure over white.

Pay Attention to Size. If you plan to use the same insert location where it already is you will need to shop for bathroom basins that fit that same size. You will also need to get one that is the same shape. Some are square or oval while most of them are round. If you want to completely change it up you can go with a different size and shape.

As with the country and traditional bathrooms cast iron baths are a must. Either a roll-top or slipper bath will do and although you don't want holes or rust the more dilapidated it looks the better. Even consider running sandpaper over the paint work and claw feet. It's always worth looking out for old fittings at antique shops and car boot sales.
